It's faster than a Titan.  What do you expect for a heavy hull?

It is an heavy hull, so it won't turn fast. Plus the turret is binded to the hull (lol).

Heavy hull?? This can't be right . it hovering, with 4 small fans

Regarding mine did you actually drive over it? with the middle of the tank, no on the side.

yes definitely hover all over it. But I did see other ares trigger my mines so I am now confused

Heavy hull is a name for the top category, defined as high HP (MK1 2000 to 4000 hp Mk7+) and being slow. It was said many time that it would be an heavy hull. It is power with distilled fermented potato juice, the strongest fuel on earth.
Regarding mines, it is just assumption from me, i could not test it on mines, but it might be that the hit box below Ares is not perfectly squared, you would need to have the mine going really underneath the tank. Wait and see.

Is it possible to create a Recruit account in the test server?

no every account in test server is for marshal only and if there is something to lower ranks then it's possible

but remember either shop nor tanckoins avaible there

In the test server it is possible to rank up to the highest rank on Legend.

I wonder how good the final version of Ares and Tesla are going to become when they are released to the main servers. I cannot wait for both Tesla and Ares to be officially released to the main servers. I also hope that those two new pieces of equipment are not going to be too expensive. When they get released, I hope that they are going to be released at half the price when a 50% off discount finally makes a "big hit" in Tanki Online, encouraging more players to spend their crystals on buying those two items from the garage.

I tested Ares already in the test servers and Ares overdrive does not seem to heal team mates, but does very good damage on heavy hulls. Yesterday, I tested Ares in juggernaut mode and it is capable of destroying a juggernaut within seconds. That proves to me that Ares can be used in very difficult situation where you would be faced with a very tough special missions where you need to destroy something like 100 juggernaut in around a week. The good news is that Ares's overdrive is good enough to cause serious damage or destroy a juggernaut trapped in a corner.

The only approach that I have with Ares's overdrive is that it travels too slowly and its overdrive projectile does not follow its enemy target. That is something that developers still have time to fix.

There are still some flaws with Ares that needs fixing. There is still time for developers to do that before releasing Ares to the official main servers.

As for Tesla, it is still too early to release it on the test servers yet, however, I will get my hands on Tesla when someone mentions that it has been released to us on the test servers. What I will do is buy it and test it on the test servers and bring you feedback about how well it works and its bugs and flaws. I will also upload images of Tesla to give more proof about it.

One clarification regarding mines and Ares:

On the test server, I created a parkour battle in Brest map, and soon, many joined. We parkoured for a while (I've posted an image in "Let's Discuss Ares"), but as we all know, public parkour battles can never be clean... especially if "Smart Supplies" is disabled.

So the red team (enemy) Ares players captured our base, and mined the whole thing. So the moment any non-Ares teammate spawned, he got killed.

But, when an Ares spawned, it did not get killed. However, when we (I'm referring to all Ares users in my team) tried going up ramps, or coming down from ramps and platforms, the front part of the hull was relatively closer to the ground.

That is the only time we were affected by mines. Otherwise, the mines deal no damage to Ares, as long as it's parallel to the ground.

So, to conclude, mines only deal damage to Ares, if it is not parallel to the ground directly beneath it. And the inclination must be significant (how significant, I can't say for sure).

For example, if  Ares is between level ground and a ramp (that is, it's just going up a ramp or coming down it), both it's ends are closer to the ground. So if there's a mine there, it will surely cause damage.

I have noticed that Ares has a hull design of an hovercraft. Possibly in the future, Tanki Online could see a hovercraft hull similar to the one you see in this image.

If such a hull would be developed, developer would have to add a propeller engine similar to the one you see in the above image to push the hull forward. The turret would be mounted on the middle of the hovercraft hull. The good thing that such a hull would have an a mechanically moving propeller engine and an air cushion which would allow the hull to hover on land and on water, if any water map in Tanki Online would be added to bring a much more fun, realistic and dynamic gameplay. I would like to see some kind of hovercraft hull added to Tanki Online in the near future. That's probably next year in 2021.

Yeah we're not going to see Tesla in the test server and main server for many months. I think Tesla will be released in 2021 or possibly late December for Christmas but I doubt it.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Tesla will definitely come out this year. Developers said that it would be released after Ares. That will be at the end of this June.
